Microsoft didn't confiscate a big chunk of the Internet. They took control of 23 free sub-domains of No-IP which have been exploited by malware terrorizing users. No-IP's free DDNS product is exactly the type of thing that makes the Internet more dangerous to end users in my opinion.

I agree. I've become increasingly skeptical of The Economist magazine since they were cheerleading for the US to attack Syria. They are definitely part of the MSM run by conglomerates/Oligarchs. Any independence they once had seems to be vanishing.

Yes we get it, fire the white men, they aren't allowed to work anymore. The communist central planners have arrived at the divine ratios for proper state enterprises to follow. Free Markets and hiring based on performance aren't allowed.

Hopefully the Internet will continue to provide information directly to voters in a way that makes political spending obsolete. Voters will be able to ignore the K Street propaganda and dis-empower the oligarchs.

I submit that technology is perhaps the most competitive industry in the world with a high skill requirement for advancement. Skills are being made obsolete on a constant basis and companies actively push below average performers out the door. If there are large quantities of highly skilled women or minorities that Google is ignoring then they will go to competitors and Google will be put out of business. I also wonder where are all the great technology companies started by women and/or non Asian minorities? Diversity isn't necessarily good for shareholders but is a socialist program of the left.

As I analyze the gun issue I've come to realize gun rights are the only thing that guarantees the citizen's freedom in the USA. The government is becoming more totalitarian by the day in the name of security from terrorists. The government can charge anyone with a crime and detain them at will, change court transcripts and trample citizen's freedom. Once the treasury market implodes things could get scary.

He may be doing better than the average person. If you divide the 2008 Median family income of $52079 by the average family size 2.63 it comes to ~$19801 so he is doing ok. He is also healthy and happy which is better than money.

This is one of the biggest reasons for not buying a house because you never really own it. States and Towns will continue to jack up taxes and fees to pay unafordable benefits to government workers. They try to suck you in with low interest rates and then BAM, you get hit with $1000 water bill. Then the Banking Cartel goes to work on your finances making you their b1 tch.

I'll believe it once Macs have 30% of the computer market. Its fine for perople who want to limit their software and hardware choices to a small fraction of what runs on Windows. Why not just get a Chrome Book and pretend its better than a paper weight.

The median net worth of single people without children under 55 fell from $24k to $14.6k. That lost $9.4k will keep them from living the good life of McMansions, College, and ever retiring from working.

Fannie Mae, the federal reserve and banks created such loose lending policies that anyone with a pulse could get huge loans. This credit bubble made housing unaffordable to Americans workers who have little job security, shrinking retirement benefits and are lucky to keep food on the table and gas in their cars. The same type of credit creation mechanisms have made College un-affordable for the Middle Class. The chart looks right to me.

I think the Personal Computer will go away right after the Automobile, telephone and television go away. It is still the most powerful and versatile computing device available for the money. I personally dislike touch screens as well.

Add a comment..Technically Shot in the Back is correct. You're not supposed to shoot at people running away unless they are shooting at you or your life is in danger. He just needs to get his story straight so he falls within the good graces of the law.

Sure hire all immigrants and see how fast your business is destroyed because they can't sell or communicate. US workers are still the best, organizations just need to have high standards and hold the US workers to these standards through training. College is becoming obsolete in my opinion. Many of these immigrants get free college in their country while US workers have to go into deep debt unless they happen to be wealthy. College has become the enemy of Democracy.

I blame the colleges, not only do they teach people to run up huge debts, they also train people to outsource their neighbors jobs and then drive them into bankruptcy. All this so they can be the important executive who gets the bvig bonus so they can then have the extra hot tub at their mansion. Nice.
